Subdivision packing a punch (9)
I believe the answer is:
armstrong
'subdivision packing a punch' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'subdivision packing a punch' is the wordplay.
'subdivision' becomes 'arm' (synonyms).
'packing a punch' becomes 'strong' (I've seen this in another clue).
'arm'+'strong'='ARMSTRONG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for armstrong that I've seen before include "Neil ........., first man on the moon" , "trumpet player" , "Jazz legend" , "See 25" , "jazz trumpeter" .)
